1. Describe ancient Greek models of matter.
2. List the main points of Dalton's atomic theory and describe his evidence for the existence of atoms.
3. Explain how Thomson and Rutherford used data from experiments to produce their atomic models.
4.2 The Structure of an Atom
Objectives:
1. Identify three subatomic particles and compare their properties.
